instructions
  1. Bracelet - 1. Tie a 60cm length of nylon thread to one side of a clasp and glue the knot to secure. Thread on four rocailles and a red pearl to act as a joining bead. Add on seven more assorted rocailles and pearls before threading on a wooden fruit bead. Repeat the bead pattern in reverse before passing the thread through the joining pearl to create a loop above the wooden shape.

    2. Thread seven more small beads onto the thread. Add a red pearl as the joining bead and repeat the bead pattern from before. Continue in this way until the bracelet is a comfortable fit around your wrist. Knot the end of the nylon tightly to a clasp and secure with a dab of glue. Allow to dry and trim any excess.
